Unable to print reports as PDF files on the server using batch processing AX

注：

如果你有一个打印报表的任务，在客户端打印成功，但是当使用batch来打印时却遇到问题，那么你需要检查你的AOS的配置以及客户端的配置是否允许batch在服务器端打印报表。

并且，你必须检查batch是以AOS账户运行，还是以提交任务的用户身份运行的，检查对应的账户是否有足够的权限能够在服务器端使用打印机。

We came across an issue reported to us where they were trying to automate printing of reports as PDF files using batch processing on the server. Printing reports directly worked fine and they were able to save the PDF files it generated successfully on the file system, but it only failed when using Batch.

The issue occurred because the server had not been configured to allow printing on the server. The issue occurred because the server had not been configured to allow printing on the server.

reportRun = new reportRun (args) reportRun.query().interactive(False); reportRun.query (). interactive (false); reportRun.report().interactive(False); reportRun.report (). interactive (false); reportRun.setTarget(printMedium::File); reportRun.setTarget (print media:: File); reportRun.printJobSettings().setTarget(PrintMedium::File); reportRun.printJobSettings (). setTarget (Print Media:: File); reportRun.printJobSettings().preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File); reportRun.printJobSettings (). preferredTarget (Print Medium:: File); reportRun.printJobSettings().format(PrintFormat::PDF); reportRun.printJobSettings (). format (print format: PDF); reportRun.printJobSettings().warnIfFileExists(False); reportRun.printJobSettings (). warnIfFileExists (False); reportRun.printJobSettings().suppressScalingMessage(True); reportRun.printJobSettings (). suppressScalingMessage (True); reportRun.printJobSettings().packPrintJobSettings(); reportRun.printJobSettings (). pack Print Job Settings (); reportRun.printJobSettings().fileName(filename); reportRun.printJobSettings (). fileName (filename); reportRun.run(); (ReportRun.run);

 

Although you are not physically printing a report to a printer and saving it to file instead, the print x + + api's that are used require the same privileges as though you are printing to a printer on the server.

The issue was resolved by following the steps given in article Microsoft Dynamics AX reports under the section titled Enable users to print reports from the server.
